EAU CLAIRE, Wisc. – Today, the Cooke for Congress campaign announced endorsements from a growing coalition of small business owners from across Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District. The local business owners note Rebecca’s unique life experience, shared values, and forward-looking vision among the reasons why they support her for Congress.
“As chaos and dysfunction grip Washington, it’s clear that there is a severe disparity between what Congress cares about and what the hardworking people of Wisconsin care about. Now more than ever, our communities deserve representation that actually looks like them and shares our values – not wealthy elites only looking out for themselves,” Cooke said. “I’m truly honored to have the support of our small business community, people who know what it takes to make payroll, create good local jobs, drive innovation, and keep our communities humming. I’ll never stop fighting for Main Street, the backbone of our local economies.”
“I’m proud to support Rebecca Cooke because she relates to the people in our state who work hard for peaceful, fulfilling lives. She has shown through her experience she will always put the needs of our communities first,” said Angie Whelan, who owns YB Urban? in Ellsworth. “Our current leaders are grossly out of touch and we need and deserve a voice in Congress that is both strong and kind, one who has a history of pulling together resources to get things done. Rebecca understands the challenges facing entrepreneurs, small business owners, and the working people who keep our quality of life strong and vibrant.”
